Kenya is a popular destination for tourists from all over the world. To travel to this country, certain nationalities are required to present an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority)<\/strong>. When should you apply for an ETA before travelling to Kenya?<\/span><\/p>\n To determine whether or not you need an ETA, it is essential to find out about the requirements linked to your nationality. Citizens of most countries (French, Belgian, Canadian) are affected by this measure.<\/p>\n It is generally advised<\/strong> to apply for your ETA at least 3 days before your planned date of arrival in Kenya<\/strong>. This period ensures that your application will be processed on time and avoids potential complications during your trip. However, in some cases, an application can be approved in as little as 24 hours. Despite this, it is always advisable not to wait until the last minute to take this step.<\/p>\n To apply for your ETA, you need to access the official Republic of Kenya website https:\/\/etakenya.go.ke<\/strong> or an intermediary site. This is where you will find the relevant information and where you will need to complete the online application form. You will need to provide personal information, such as your full name, date of birth, nationality, contact details and passport numbers.<\/p>\n Once you have completed the form, you will be asked to pay by credit card. It is important to note that the fee is non-refundable, regardless of the outcome of your request.<\/p>\n Once the form has been submitted and payment made, your request will be processed. You will usually receive a reply within 3 days or less. If your application is approved, your ETA will be sent to you by e-mail. All you need to do is print out this document and present it when you arrive in Kenya.<\/p>\n Applying for an ETA is therefore an important step in preparing for your stay in Kenya, but other aspects of the trip should not be overlooked.<\/p>\n It is recommended<\/strong> to book accommodation<\/strong> locally in advance, as well as internal flights if necessary. This avoids unpleasant last-minute surprises and allows you to make the most of your stay, without stress or wasting time. There is a wide choice of accommodation, from luxurious lodges to affordable hostels and family guesthouses.<\/p>\n And don't forget to take out travel insurance, which covers medical expenses as well as flight cancellations or delays. In addition, consult a doctor before you leave to check your vaccinations and obtain advice on diseases transmitted by mosquitoes, such as malaria.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kenya is a popular destination for tourists from all over the world.
